Pictures I saw on the news looked like the gear was up.
Well if you walked thru 2 feet of snow you would look like you had no legs.
Jeeez, newbie!!!

Yep, Dang glad I am down south. And if I where up north in that crap I would rather be pounding along on that stuff in a Dash.
So Lowly, when you bidding down south again? I might see you soon got a Double ROC overnight a couple of times next month. I might need to call you to share some notes on flying that crappola weather....
Nevermind, I can just let the CommutAir Flash backs kick in again.

Clark, an Airforce veteran talking to us from the comfort of his fat a$$ at home, was shocked to learn that despite his hundreds of hours of passenger flight experience, aircraft do in fact, sometimes fly close to the ground.
"At some arbitrary time on arrival I started my watch timer," Clark said,"so that I would know our precise time of touchdown. It took much too long. When we did clear the clouds we were very, very low. Much too low for landing." "Then," Clark went on," the pilot made one last desperate attempt to crash on the runway before skidding off the end doing 180 doughnuts. I'm pretty sure he was wearing a backpack when he did it. Yes, I'm sure I could see a backpack from my seat next to the lav. Did I mention I was in the Airforce? That's how I know exactly what happened. From my experience as an Air Force cook."
Clark went on to describe his disappointment in not being injured as he needs a good lawsuit to pay off the remainder of his trailor home. "I think maybe I hurt my back at some point during our doughnut. Does it look funny? I'm pretty sure I'll have a nightmare tonight too. Does that count as emotional stress? I don't think I'll ever fly again before next Sunday."

On a quasi-related note...
Delta 767 was off the taxiway in CLE today, BUF Bills Charter, I think. Looked kinda funny with all the dudes in shovels working around the right main gear, with the snowplows around. Sorta reminded me of the movie "Airport" with the 707 stuck on the runway and they're all trying to dig it out before the snowplows blast it to pieces...
Edit: CLE definitely had some slippery spots today, they sorta came outta nowhere. Be careful, kiddies!

I don't know... Depends on how far I get booted down when SYR closes and how much flying arrives in the Bern.
If I do get out of LGA it'll take me a good year to thaw out.
Last night in ROC it was blowing at 20+ Kts with 3/4 in snow and fair to poor braking action. Enjoy!

Silence you Bastard!!! LOL
That's just disgusting. I'm surprised you let me have that New Bern CA slot. I figured you'd take it and bump me up north with all that weather you're advertising.
